Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I help high school students find the perfect academic, social, & financial fit college and then guide them through the application process. I help students with selecting colleges, completing applications, and writing essays. From my years of volunteering with Northwestern University admissions, I know what colleges are looking for. I get to know my students well and tailor my services to each student based on their individual needs. Working with me results in a less stressful college search and application process and an increased likelihood of being admitted to the perfect fit school. My services include high school academic roadmap planning, college list development, standardized test strategy, college visit planning, interview prep, application strategy, essay brainstorming & editing, affordability review (financial aid support, scholarship support), application support and decision support. I provide a free consultation to students and their parents to ensure I'm a good fit for their individual situation.

My son is currently working with Donna from YellowTwist Educational Services and she's been wonderful to work with. She has opened his eyes to several schools that he wasn't previously considering one of which just became his top choice school. She has been great at coaching him on what to look for on school visits, what questions to ask, and what activities to do at each school. He applied for and was accepted into a special summer program and she helped with reviewing his essay and provided great feedback on ways to improve it. We look forward to working with her on deciding what schools to apply to early and regular decision and on getting all the essays and activities done. My son doesn't take advice from me so it's great to have someone trusted to provide advice to him along the way.

We hired Donna to work with our daughter this year on her college applications. My wife and I both work full time so we didn't have much time to spend with her and she really didn't want our help. Donna stepped in and took care of everything. She suggested schools that she thought would be a great fit and helped us figure out the best 'strategy' to apply to each school. We are still waiting on a few schools but so far she has been accepted to three schools she really loves and has received some nice scholarships from each. She is our oldest so my wife and I were very unsure of how all this would work. Hiring Donna was a great idea. She eliminated a lot of the stress that was building up in our family over this whole thing. Now we are just waiting on a few decisions and then she'll help us make the final decision on where my daughter will go next year.

Working with Donna made the whole college search process much less stressful for our family. She ensured that my daughter consider schools that were a great fit for her and her major. My daughter was accepted into her three top choices with great offers of merit aid. She'll be attending a great school next year that seems perfect for her. Without the help from Donna, she would not have thought to apply there. I highly recommend her.

I really loved working with Donna on college applications. She helped me figure out what schools were a great fit for me and then helped me with the application process. I got into my top choice school through early decision and I know that a big part of that was the help that I received on my application.
